My Style

[Wisemon]

I do not agree with your thesis entirely. Poets were once held in higher regard for their ability to say more with less, but we no longer live in that day,

I don't see any point of disagreement here. I've been to enough poetry readings to know that the "craft" has mutated into an abomination.

So, indeed, it is possible to overexpress oneself into becoming obsolete, however the narrator's vocabulary, perspective, and devices are the things that make the impression on the reader: Nate Hunter uses the British spellings of words to create an atmosphere of class within his works.

And I use words like "hey," "yeah," "yep," "ain't," "gonna," "dude," and "fuckable" in my dialogue for an atmosphere of informality. I kind of need it to contrast with my overly formal narrator, and I love character hook words. I guess that's two more keys to my style: character catchphrases and a narrative voice that's distinct from the dialogue.
